What Is Bend Radius in a Cable – Definition Bend radius is the minimum radius a cable, wire, or harness can be bent to, either temporarily or permanently, without causing permanent damage or reducing performance, power, or reliability [14]. If the actual bend in your installation is equal to or larger than this limit, the cable is within spec. If it is tighter, you risk damaging conductors, insulation, or shielding, and in geometry-sensitive cables you may also distort the electrical geometry [11][12]. In practice, you should aim to keep bends above

CABLE ASSEMBLY DESIGN
Design with ease using our Cable Design Tool, and we’ll bring your cable assemblies to life.
OUR PROCESS
At Pickering Connect, we make custom cable assembly easy and efficient. Our streamlined process ensures that your project runs smoothly from design to delivery. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how it works:
Use our intuitive Cable Design Tool to easily draw your design. If you get stuck at any phase of the project, simply reach out to our technicians using the built-in chat for assistance.
Once your design is complete, our technicians will review your project and provide feedback to improve manufacturability, performance, and cost-efficiency.
After you approve the project, we will manufacture the cable and ship it to you, anywhere in the world.
Do you already have a design drawing and don’t feel like redrawing it? Simply send it over, and we’ll handle the rest.
* Please note that additional charges may apply.
